Two Meat are Killed a.nr Another U Severely Injured. Our obapter of accidents, and death as the unfortunate result, It seems Is not yet con cluded; but on this occasion we are happy In being able to record tliat the Ions of lile can be charged to no man's carelessness, as has so frequently been tbecuse of laie. The scene of tne accident was the United Rtates Arsenal, near the suburban town of lirldesburg, from which It lakos lis name. The Arsenal property is located on tue north side of Frank ford ortek, a short diBtanoe lrom tue De laware, and Just to the east of r'raukford. The creek bounds It on the south, and high walls enolose It ou the other three sides. During the late war the Arsenal was tho scene of great aotivlty, the employes of the establishment at that period numbering about three hundred, Including men and women, boys and (tills. The special manufactures of the Arsenal Uihii, as well as now, wete cartridges and percussion caps. The latter are turned out ready charged, and with great rapidity, by a cuilons machine, which Is the invention of a Connecticut genius. All the oangerous work In the establishment is performed In small square buildings of brick, which are scattered over the enclosure to pro vent an explosion in one from extendiug to the others. In one of these Utile isolated apartments was the machine for charging caps with "fulminating powder." Owing to tue ex citable nature of this last compound, the greatest oare in manipulating It Is observed, and none but the mott trustworthy 01 the em ployes are permuted to labor In this depart ment. 11 has also been customary for the lore man to examine the machine carefully before it Is set In motion, and lor years It has per formed its task without mishap oi any kind. On (Saturday afternoon, at about 4 o'clock, the foreman made his customary Investigation, and pronouncing the maohlne "all right," as was apparently the case, It was set In motion. About two hundred caps had been turned out, when there was a sudden and tearful explosion of the "fulminating powder," lor which no reason can be assigned or conceived. A port 'on of the "lulmlnatlug powder" in the magazine attached to the machine must have come In contact with the machinery In an Improper manner, but In what particular way will pro bhbly remain a mystery foiever, as the young man who was feedlngat the time was so terribly burned and mutilated that Instant death was the result. The name of this unfortunate man was James F.Carter. He was about twentylght years of age. and resided at No. 19 Mill street, Frank ford; to wblob place his remains were removed. He leaves a wile and two ohildren. Christian C. Zimmerman, a boy of fourteen J rears only, was also badly burned, and so in ured by the flying fragments of the machinery that he died about 7 o'clock on Halurday morn ing, lie resided at No. ii Bridge street, Iirldeu buig. Wesley Olnsell, aged twenty-seven, and residing in the neighborhood, likewise suffered from the eflecls ef the expiexlon, and his reco very Is considered doubtful. There were several others employed in the building, but as the latter were not materially damaged by the explosion, all except the three persons above named fortunately escaped without injury. Asa large force was employed In the Arsenal, all of tbtm being residents of Frankford or lirldesburg, a great deal or excitement and consternation prevailed in those usually quiet towns, until the extentof the lossof life became known to the families and friends of the employes. The Coroner made an Investigation Into the affair yesterday, and the Jury rendered the following verdlol: "That the said James Carter and Christian U. Zimmerman came to their death by the explosion of a machine for filling cartridges, at the Frankford Arsenal, on the 17th day of August, 1807. The Jury are of the opinion that all due oure and precaution had been taken to avoid such explosions and pro tect the operations at these machines,' and therefore attach no blame to the authorities of the Arsenal." The firemen of the vicinity were on the ground In good season, but their servloes were not called Into requisition. It will be remem bered that about ten years ago a similar acci dent occurred at the Arsenal, by which a young man by the name of Patrick Cooney lost his life. FEARFUL TRAGEDY AT TACONY. A Mam Shoots Ills Sister-In-law with an Infant tn Her Arms Tne Woman Fatally "Wounded The Guild Seri ously Injured Arrest of the Assail ant. Ktc. A frightful occurrence was witnessed at Ta cony yesterday afternoon, In which fire-arms were used, and resulted in fearfully wounding both a woman and her infant child In her arms. The particulars are about as follows: A man named Brophy, who is a laborer on the Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad, lives at Taoony, where he owns two houses one occu pied by himself and son, James Brophy, the other by a second son, William. These two men. James and William Brophy, worked with thAir father, and seem to have had some alter- oatlon previous to the present, arising, as their neighbors say, from the fact tnat James saved his money for the proper support of his family, while William spent his money for "that which is not bread." and was intoxicated the K.i f oi mrt nf t.hn time. William seems to have enjoyed the honor of being a "bard boy," and Is said to have set fire to his father's house not long since, out of rAVAnim for soma trillion attain and a continu- ni rr ilka rienredations had induced his father to order him to leave his premises. Of this naiernal edict William charged bis bro ther James and wife with being the instigators, and threatened toavenee tne injustice. On (Sunday afternoon William, standing In fmnt nf hm brother's house, repeated tnose charges, and told him that he was now going to have satisfaction. Accordingly he went back to bis own houte, where he procured a Springfield rifle, with which ha returned to his brother's. There the senior Brophy, with James, wife, and Ahiid. were seated upon the porch.

Hon rinflbn,35th United states Infantry, who died of jellow fever at Indlanola, Texas, at 10 o'clock A. M. on the 12lh instant.

He was a warm friend, and a faithful and most excellent ollcer. The ofllcors of the regi ment will wear tbe usual bridge of mourning foi thirty (SO) days after the receipt of this order.

A Card from Judge Holt. To the Editor of the Chronicle: Elrt I thank you for the explicltness wltk which you stated, in your issue ot this morning, tbat certain affidavits previously published in your paper, profession to expose a conspiracy against the Bureau of Military Justice, "did not constitute any part of the records of tbat office,1" were not obtained lrom It, "and tbat neither I nor any officer of said bureau was responsible lor tbeir publication." Your statement is true in every particular. The papers referred t were never onj&c hie ot that bureau, nor bad tbey any connection whatever with its records; nor have they ever been under my control; nor were tbey published with my knowledge or con sent, or after any consultation with, me, or Inti mation to me ot any such purpose. I may add further that tbe declaration made that a "recommendation" for Executive cle mency in tbe case of Sanford Conover had come from the Bureau of Military Justice ia untrue. My endorsement on the letter of Mr. Riddle was written in my own' house, and slsned by myself as a citizen, and bad no con nection whatever with the Bureau ot Military Justice. It was in no tense a "recommenda tion," and relther contained, nor was Intended to eontain, any expression of confidence in the general integrity or truthfulness' of Conover. An examination of its language will show that it was based solely on a principle of recognized public policy, as applicable to the state of lacts presented by Mr. Riddle (Important ser vices rendered by Conover tn the trial of Sur ratt), to which state of facts it was strictly confined, and tbat it neither urged nor sug gested any definite Executive action. All aver ments or intimations, no matter by whom made, or however supported, which seek to connect me in any degree or in any way with, the alleged conspiracy against the President, are wholly false, as arc all insinuations that In tbe step! took in concert with Mr. Riddle I either aimed or desired to qualify Conover as a witness lor any purpose whatever.
